| Reverse description | Central device depicts a kiwi (Apteryx) in left-facing profile, striding forward with its long curved bill inclined downward toward the ground line, rendered in naturalistic detail by George Kruger Gray, whose initials KG appear to the lower right. The upper legend NEW·ZEALAND arcs along the top periphery, while the denomination ONE·FLORIN and the date appear along the lower arc, separated by a raised dot. The composition is set against a plain field with a horizontal ground line beneath the bird, all within a toothed milled border. |
